What does it mean to be a Christian? For most people, what comes to mind is a list of rules. Don’t do this. Don’t do that. Try harder. Do better. Many people feel hopeless and have given up on this kind of religion for good reason-it does not work. We do not feel close to God. We do not change like we believe we should. We seem powerless to impact culture.
In Redefined, pastor Allen Holmes brings a powerful message to a weary world-this kind of religion is nothing like the blessed life Jesus has in mind for you. The good news is that a blessed and transformed life is closer than you imagined.
- What if God redefined your understanding of what it means to follow Him?
- What if you discovered that most of what you have believed is wrong?
- What if God is more interested in a relationship with you than your performance for Him?
That kind of discovery would change everything! It would mean that the change, growth, and breakthrough you have been looking for is found in your weakness, not your strength. Jesus came to offer more than you can imagine-a blessing that reunites you with the Father, transforms your relationships, and empowers you to engage with culture.
